Janet Jackson Hints At Comeback Album Following Divorce, Baby Birth

Janet Jackson Hints At Comeback Album Following Divorce, Baby Birth

A lot has changed since Janet Jackson released her last album, Unbreakable, in 2015.

She’s ditched her billionaire ex-husband Wissam Al Mana, welcomed her first child into the world and has successfully embarked on two world tours — one of which was cut short upon learning about the news that she was pregnant.

So, from the look of things, it shouldn’t be surprised that Janet Jackson is back in the studio, having teased fans on Twitter where she shared a photo of herself getting ready to record some whisper tracks that will hopefully land her another hit record.

If you look at Janet’s body of work as a whole, most of the songs are nothing but her whispering about sex, desire, and affection, and I happen to be absolutely here for every single whispering note she wants to sing about.

Whisper about the divorce for all I care. It’s a breath of fresh air from the so-called music the world is being forced to listen to on the radio these days.

Janet Jackson is being super secretive about her new project, but just know that if there’s anything that is almost guaranteed, it would be that Janet won’t even attempt to strain her vocals to deliver something other than the whispering tones we’re so used to hearing from her.

What To Expect From Ariana Grande’s ”Sweetener”

The rumors are true- Ariana Grande is set to release ”Sweetener” on August 17th. After releasing the music video for ”God is a Woman,” in which she, in her own words, “fingered the earth,” her fans are anxiously waiting to see what ideas she’s going to touch upon next.

God is a Woman

The official release date is three days from now, and Grande does not let us forget how excited she is by posting about it approximately 10000 times a day on Twitter. Her fans, however, just want this album to drop so they can see for themselves what the hype is all about. This Tweet sums up the relationship between Ari and her fan base nicely:

This will be her fourth album, and presumably the second one in which she won’t be sleeping on the cover. So what can we expect? For one thing, she already released the tracklist, which includes the following songs: R.E.M., God is a Woman, Sweetener, Successful, Everytime, Breathin, Everytime, No Tears Left to Cry, and Borderline. Ever since the release of her last album, Dangerous Woman, she has been working on making her image more mature and sexual. Her haters often make fun of her young-looking appearance, saying that the 25-year-old looks 12. I personally don’t know any 12 year olds who wear BDSM-inspired latex outfits, but these days, who knows anymore?

Grande has been criticized a lot recently for her engagement to Pete Davidson, which happened shortly after her breakup with Mac Miller. Instagram ‘stans’ were thoroughly convinced that Grande cheated and were quick to spam Ari’s and her new flames accounts with their conspiracy theories. This chaos has apparently affected Pete the most, as he is used to hiding from the spotlight. But no hoodie was big enough to shield him from the controversy, and he swiftly deleted his account, as he “has been getting a lot of hate from fans. It’s been hurtful, and he’s actually pretty sensitive.” It would not be surprising if Pete were more excited about the album release than Ari at this point, just so he can fade out of the spotlight for a moment.

Whitney Houston’s family “horrified” over sexual claims

Whitney Houston’s family are shocked by sexual allegations documented in the new Whitneyfilm.

Director Kevin Macdonald interviewed close family and friends to the late singer, exposing both Whitney Houston and her half brother, Gary Garland, were allegedly molested by their cousin, Dee Dee Warwick, during their childhood.

Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy Houston, released a joint statement with niece Dionne Warwick to People, highlighting that the family first heard of such claims two days prior to the film’s release back in May at the Cannes Film Festival.

The statement revealed: “We cannot overstate the shock and horror we feel and the difficulty we have believing that my niece Dee Dee Warwick… molested two of my three children”.

“… The idea that [Dee Dee] would have molested my children is overwhelming and for us unfathomable… Neither I, Dionne, nor my son Michael… has ever heard these allegations; we have never heard anything remotely connected to the crimes charged against Dee Dee in the film. How can that be fair to my daughter, to Dee Dee, or to our family?”

Despite having to live most of her life in the public eye, Cissy Houston defends her daughter stating the public has no right to “know every intimate detail of her life beyond what she herself revealed during her lifetime… if she was molested I do not believe she would have wanted it to be revealed for the first time to thousands, maybe millions of people in a film.”

Whitney director Macdonald, 50, revealed to Vanity Fair in May that he “managed to persuade Mary Jones, who was Whitney’s longtime assistant and probably knew her in her last years more than anybody,” to open up about the molestation claims, as featured in the documentary.

“She talks about what Whitney felt and what effect it had on her. So we changed the whole cut at the very last minute. It was kind of a detective story to get that piece of information, which changed how I felt about Whitney and how I felt about the story”.

People magazine reported revealing the information was a difficult decision for Mary Jones, “she confided in me and I struggled tremendously deciding whether to share this secret or keep to myself”.

Jones goes on further to say, “I deeply love and respect Dionne, Cissy and their entire families, and my intention was never to embarrass anyone in the family, but rather to bring to light that Whitney was subjected to something painful and troubling as a child. And it’s something that happens to other innocent kids and goes unspoken too much… I decided to share the story so that people might understand that throughout her entire life Whitney carried this with her, and the weight of it was immense. Whitney was a wonderful woman, an angel, and she did not drag herself down all alone — there was a cause.”

Before the film debut, director Macdonald revealed on Good Morning America that Gary Houston “was molested when he was a kid by a woman in the family and he thought also Whitney had been as well.”

In Whitney, Gary Houston, 60, alleges Dee Dee Warwick molested him when he was 7 to 9 years old. He had no prior knowledge of Whitney’s alleged abuse leading up to the film’s release.

Gary further revealed in an interview on Good Morning America, “I was 8 [or] 9 years old and I was being fondled with from time to time. It was a situation I didn’t understand. I knew it was abnormal.”

Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick concluded their joint statement: “After people have seen the film they will draw their own conclusions and we are not trying to change that. We just want people to know there is another side. While the filmmakers certainly had the legal right to make this film, I wonder at the moral right.”
